Mini Map Spawn
We're dusting off some golden maps from days long past, and restoring them to their former glory! Take a look at the spawn you can expect to see for the upcoming Mini Map:
Mini Map & Rule Changes
Mini Maps are super short maps will take place between main seasons on Onyx, or during longer break periods. You'll find that the main seasons of Onyx will begin on Saturdays per the usual reset schedule and that Mini Maps will start on off-days. Mini Maps are expected to be between 3-5 days in length.
Map details and rules have been updated to accommodate the Mini Map changes, so be sure to read through it all before taking part in the new maps, to avoid confusion. We'll be updating the following rules:
- Rule 10 - 1 f ban will result in a strike.
- Rule 28 - 1 chunk source block oceans and water bucketing to any extent (anywhere) is now allowed.
- Rule 39 - We have lowered the required time to switch cannons from 15 mins to 10 mins.
Additional Information
Last but not least, here is some miscellaneous information:
- Removed the Infected Enchantment during mini maps.
- We will be running a Mining, Woodcutting, and Fishing alongside Mycelium (Silverfish) economy.
